The good news is that according to Nikki Finke Warner Brothers is going to spend $25 to $30 million in prints and advertising for The Women opening on September 12th. This clearly means more people will be able to see it. I am waiting with baiting breath for my screening invitation.
The bad news as I've mentioned before is that two other women centric films open that weekend -- Towelhead and The Duchess (see this post: September 12th Just Got Really Busy
The worse news is that it seems that Tyler Perry's newest movie The Family That Preys is also opening that weekend. I wouldn't care so much if the film didn't star Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodward as best friends whose families are falling apart. Film also co-stars Sanaa Lathan, KaDee Strickland and Taraji P. Henson.
This is just crazy.
